Answer:

$1032.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

salary = $950 every two weeks

tax rate = 8%

let the initial pay be x

and let the pay after tax deduction be p

p= x-8/100x

Hence the equation for his pay is

p=x-0.08x-------------1

subsitute

950=x-0.08x

950= 0.92x

divide both sides by 0.92

x= 950/0.92

x=$1032.60

The employee make $1032.60 every two weeks before taxes

David is going to install tiles on the floor of two rooms. One of the floors is 18 feet long by 12 feet wide. The other floor is
crimeas [40]
Dimension of one of the floors of one room that David wants to install tiles is 18feet long by 12 feet wide
Then
Area of the above room = 18 * 12 square feet
                                       = 216 square feet
Dimension of the floor of the other room that David wants to install tiles is 24 feet long and 16 feet wide
Then
Area of the other room = 24 * 16 square feet
                                     = 384 square feet
Then
The total square feet of the
rooms that David wants to install tiles = 216 + 384
                                                             = 600 square feet
Cost of the tile that covers 1 square feet = $5
Cost of the 4 tiles that cover 4 square feet = $17
Then  
Area that can be covered with 4 square feet of tiles = 600/4 square feet
                                                                                  = 150 square feet
Minimum cost of covering
the two rooms that David wants to install tiles = 150 * 17 dollars
                                                                          = 2550 dollars
So the minimum cost of installing the tiles on the two floors of David's two rooms is $2550. I hope the procedure is simple enough for you to understand.

Step-by-step explanation:

first find -\sqrt{5}\\

which is -2.2360679775

now round it to match the lenth of the other problem

-1.96312...

-2.2360...

now remember that the bigger the negitive number, the smaller it really is,
